Hinterlands, Issue 3 – Green

Hinterlands is a print magazine for rural realities and narratives from Europe’s rural regions.

In reports, essayistic prose and photographic formats, Hinterlands magazine presents local reporting from villages and non-urban areas and creates a transgressive understanding of rurality.

In this issue:

issue no. 3: Green

Green are the meadows, forests and fields that form rural landscapes. Green is chlorophyll, a pigment absorbing red and blue wavelengths of light. Green are trimmed hedges bordering an estate in the village and shielding it from the neighbor’s view. Green is the color of political parties that aim to counter the climate crisis. Green is sometimes just a fantasy.

The chosen color of hinterlands’ third issue points to the climate crisis and its consequences. It shows us the drawbacks of an industry focusing on “green” solutions. It leads us into the forest and to family histories tied to the soil on which they live.
